That is a perfectly good scenario, but it does not give you the efficiencies
of ESX server. I was describing running the VM's on ESX server and accessing
them via RDP. Then you publish mstsc.exe using PS which gives you all the
benefits of Presentation Server while maintaining a dedicated workstation
node running on ESX.
Running the VM's on PS locally is fine, but resource contention is going to
be an issue IMHO.....

No. Let me describe how the solution is built. Once you see how all the
parts fit together, you can get a better feel for what this will ultimately
look like.
PS 4.0 running on Windows 2003. VMWare Workstation is running on Windows
2003. You publish a command line to VMware workstation that points to a VM
image (it could be Windows XP, Linux, Windows 2003 Server, etc...) The user
logs on to Web Interface, and sees what Vm or VM's they are allowed to
access. If a Windows Xp vm is published, they click on that icon and run
their own instance of Windows XP running on PS.
Here is one example of where this fits:
Many developers need access to multiple images. Now, instead of getting alot
of hardware and vm images, a developer can logon from any where and have
access to a wide array of images, whether they are down the hall, across
town, or outsourced all over the globe. Whether they need one image or 20,
the client requirements are the same. If you combine this idea with the USB
virtual client keys being offered by Red Cannon, Realm Systems, Authentex,
or Axalto, the only corporate asset need would be a USB to provide secure
access to a wide array of images and applications. Some software companies
are actually doing something similar to this now for developers in multiple
locations. This concept builds on top of what people are some are doing
today and takes it farther.
That is one specific area that I have heard about where this concept makes
alot of sense. You may think of others based on this example. I hope that
explanation clears it up for you.
